Kyla has been mentioned numerous times by patients and their families during leader rounding and through surveys and has received several DAISY nominations and network stars. Kyla is often mentioned by her peers for her ability to meet the needs of the patients, and attend to the needs of her unit and team. Asked for her advice to oncoming nurses, she responds, “Love. Love on your patients, love on your team, love on your department. If there is no love in nursing, then we have missed the most basic principle of nursing. Love is the greatest gift we can give ourselves, our patients, and our teams!”
